IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Nice! I have a couple of them. I think yours makes MS63. Reverse is stronger than the obverse, imho.

63. Reverse is still semi-PL.

Hard to tell from the images how deep the marks are. Being conservative I would say 62

I'll go a bit higher on this one MS-64. Relatively few significant hits.

tough call using these photos. one note is that 78CC should sharp and bold. the obv is struck up nicely but the rev is not. its also difficult to determine how much luster is remaining and whether the surfaces are all original. i'll call it MS63 until in-hand photos are presented. i have no idea how paralyse is determining SMPL from these photos  |

In an old PCGS holder, they thought MS63. Many here seem to agree. Will post my pics when it comes in.
